A potter for over 40 years, Jaramillo has a unique and playful flair to his work. He is always trying to innovate or find that "new pet rock". As a frequent participant in "Renaissance Faires" throughout the West, Jaramillo responded by offering Thumbcups (handleless mugs) to the fair-going fans of medieval jousting.Strawmugs (sippycups) and flower basins for displaying freshly cut flowers or bamboo are other intriguing examples of his imaginative creations. Jaramillo's beaded jewery is also a favorite with locals and visitors alike.
